+# T4.2.1 — Wire real VideoToolbox VTCompressionSession / VTDecompressionSession (macOS)
+
+**Status:** Pending Review
+**Agent:** Kimi Code CLI
+**Started:** 2026-05-11T16:29Z
+**Completed:** 2026-05-11T16:29Z
+**Commit:** (see git log)
+**PRD:** ../PRD-video-v1.md
+
+## What I changed
+
+- `crates/wzp-video/Cargo.toml` — Added macOS-target dependency `shiguredo_video_toolbox = "2026.1"` (gated behind `cfg(target_os = "macos")`).
+- `crates/wzp-video/src/videotoolbox.rs` — Replaced stubs with real VideoToolbox wiring:
+  - `VideoToolboxEncoder` now creates a `VTCompressionSession` via `shiguredo_video_toolbox::Encoder` (H.264 Baseline, CAVLC, real-time, 30 fps, configurable bitrate).
+  - Input `VideoFrame.data` is interpreted as flat I420 (YUV 4:2:0 planar). Y/U/V planes are split and passed to the encoder.
+  - Output is converted from AVCC (4-byte NAL length prefixes) to Annex-B (4-byte start codes `0x00 0x00 0x00 0x01`). SPS/PPS parameter sets emitted by VideoToolbox on keyframes are prepended as separate Annex-B NALs.
+  - `request_keyframe()` flag is persisted across `encode()` calls until a keyframe is actually emitted, because VideoToolbox internally buffers frames and the forced-keyframe option must be passed on every `VTCompressionSessionEncodeFrame` call until output appears.
+  - `VideoToolboxDecoder` lazily creates `VTDecompressionSession` when the first in-band SPS/PPS arrive. On subsequent parameter-set changes the decoder is recreated.
+  - Annex-B input is converted to AVCC before feeding the decoder. Decoded I420 output is concatenated into a flat `Vec<u8>` matching `VideoFrame.data` layout.
+  - Added helper functions: `avcc_to_annexb`, `annexb_to_avcc`, `split_annex_b`, `extract_sps_pps`.
+- `crates/wzp-video/tests/encode_decode_macos.rs` — Integration test (`#[cfg(target_os = "macos")]`):
+  - `encode_decode_roundtrip`: 30 synthetic 640×360 I420 gradient frames → encode → decode → assert dimensions match.
+  - `keyframe_in_first_five_frames`: requests keyframe on frame 0, asserts at least one IDR slice (NAL type 5) appears within 5 encode calls.
+  - Tests serialized with a global `Mutex` because VideoToolbox maintains global encoder-registry state that races under concurrent sessions.
+
+## Why these choices
+
+- **`shiguredo_video_toolbox` crate:** Provides safe, high-level Rust bindings around VideoToolbox (CVPixelBuffer, CMSampleBuffer, CMBlockBuffer, callbacks, format descriptions all handled internally). Writing equivalent code with raw `video-toolbox-sys` or `objc2-video-toolbox` would require ~500 lines of unsafe CoreFoundation object management. The crate is Apache-2.0 licensed, maintained by Shiguredo (Japanese WebRTC specialists), and battle-tested in production.
+- **I420 input assumption:** The PRD says "assume NV12 or I420 for now — disclose the format choice." I420 is simpler to split into planes (Y, U, V are contiguous in the flat buffer) and is a common capture format. A follow-up should negotiate the actual pixel format with the camera pipeline.
+- **Lazy decoder creation:** H.264 SPS/PPS travel in-band with the video stream (typically prefixed to the first IDR frame). The decoder cannot be instantiated until these parameter sets are known, so `VideoToolboxDecoder` defers session creation until `decode()` sees SPS + PPS NALs.
+- **Keyframe request persistence:** VideoToolbox buffers 3–4 frames before emitting output. If we clear the force-keyframe flag on the first `encode()` call that returns empty, the request is lost. The flag is now only cleared after `EncodedFrame.keyframe == true` is observed.
+
+## Deviations from the task spec
+
+- **Dependency:** Used `shiguredo_video_toolbox` (an external crate) instead of hand-rolling VTCompressionSession/VTDecompressionSession FFI. This dramatically reduced implementation risk and size. Disclosed under Risks.
+- **Rust MSRV bump:** `shiguredo_video_toolbox` requires Rust 1.88. The workspace MSRV is currently 1.85. The crate is only compiled on macOS targets, so non-macOS builds are unaffected. If bumping the workspace MSRV is unacceptable, an alternative is to vendor or fork the crate.
+- **Pixel format:** Chose I420 instead of NV12 for the MVP. NV12 support can be added by switching `PixelFormat::I420` → `PixelFormat::Nv12` and adjusting plane splitting in `encode()`.
+- **CPU measurement:** The PRD acceptance criterion includes "CPU < 5 % on M1". This requires a standalone benchmark binary and `getrusage` instrumentation that is not yet present. The integration test proves functional correctness; a follow-up task should add the benchmark harness.
+
+## Verification output

+# pass
+```
+
+## Test summary
+
+- Tests added: 4 (2 integration tests + 2 unit tests)
+  - `encode_decode_roundtrip` — end-to-end encode→decode with dimension validation
+  - `keyframe_in_first_five_frames` — forced keyframe appears within 5 frames
+  - `avcc_to_annexb_roundtrip` — AVCC ↔ Annex-B conversion correctness
+  - `extract_sps_pps_finds_params` — parameter set parsing from Annex-B
+- Tests modified: 0
+- Workspace test count: all passing
+- `cargo clippy -p wzp-video --all-targets -- -D warnings`: clean
+- `cargo fmt --all -- --check`: pass
+
+## Risks / follow-ups
+
+- **Rust 1.88 dependency:** `shiguredo_video_toolbox` raises the effective MSRV on macOS to 1.88. If the team wants to stay on 1.85, we need to vendor the crate or switch to lower-level bindings.
+- **Pixel format hard-coded to I420:** The encoder and decoder both assume I420. When the camera pipeline lands, we may need to switch to NV12 (the native macOS capture format) to avoid a color-space conversion copy.
+- **No CPU benchmark:** The 5 % CPU @ 720p30 acceptance criterion is not yet measured. A `examples/bench_encode_720p.rs` should be added.
+- **Decoder recreation on every SPS/PPS change:** Currently the decoder is recreated when parameter sets change. `VTDecompressionSessionCanAcceptFormatDescription` could be used for a lighter update path; the `shiguredo_video_toolbox::Decoder::update_format()` API already does this, but our wrapper falls back to recreation on failure.
+- **Thread safety:** VideoToolbox callbacks run on an internal dispatch queue. The `shiguredo_video_toolbox` crate bridges these via `std::sync::mpsc`. Our `VideoToolboxEncoder`/`Decoder` are `Send` but not `Sync`; callers should hold them on a single thread or wrap in a mutex.

+- [x] Code matches PRD intent — `SignalMessage::Nack` + `PictureLossIndication`; `NackSender` (500 ms ring cache) + `NackReceiver` (gap detection + RTT-gated decision + 2×RTT backoff + 50/sec rate cap)
+- [x] Verification output is real — re-ran `cargo test -p wzp-video --lib nack` (8 pass) + `cargo test -p wzp-proto --lib nack` (2 pass) + `cargo test -p wzp-proto picture_loss` (2 pass); wzp-video + wzp-proto clippy clean
+- [x] No backward-incompat surprises — additive (two new signal variants with `#[serde(default)]` version field)
+- [x] Tests cover the new behavior — 8 nack state-machine tests including the tricky cases (wraparound, rate-cap fallback to PLI, backoff per seq)
+- [x] Approved

+### Reviewer notes (2026-05-12)
+
+**Substance: real work this time, not stubs.** Both signal variants land cleanly. `NackSender`'s 500 ms TTL ring is the right cache budget for video — long enough to catch most loss/recovery cycles, short enough to bound memory. `NackReceiver`'s RTT-gated NACK-vs-PLI decision matches the PRD ("NACK if RTT < 2 × frame_interval, else PLI"). The 50 NACKs/sec rate cap with batch-truncation-rather-than-rejection is the right call.
+
+**Test coverage is strong:**
+- `receiver_uses_pli_when_rtt_is_high` — the gating logic.
+- `receiver_backoff_respects_2x_rtt` — per-seq backoff prevents spam.
+- `receiver_rate_cap_falls_back_to_pli` — graceful degradation at the limit.
+- `receiver_wraparound_ok` — handles u32 seq wrap (relevant given T1.1's widening).
+- `sender_evicts_after_500ms` — TTL behavior.
+
+**Skeleton self-expansion was warranted.** T4.4 in TASKS.md was a skeleton ("expand before claiming"). Per the agreement from T4.1, agent can self-expand against the parent PRD as long as they stay in scope. Adding `PictureLossIndication` alongside `Nack` is mandated by PRD-video-v1's NACK-loop description ("Otherwise (high RTT) skip NACK and request a keyframe via `PictureLossIndication`"). Properly disclosed under "Deviations".
+
+**Process improvement:** unlike T4.2/T4.3, this one isn't stubs. The PRD acceptance ("P-frame loss recovery") is met at the signaling + state-machine level. Real wiring to encoder.request_keyframe / SFU forwarding happens in T4.6/T4.7 by design.
+
+**One repeated process issue noted (not blocking):** commit `81042ac` still absorbed 36 lines of changes to `T4.3-report.md` (my T4.3 reviewer notes) via `git add -A`. Stop using `git add -A`. This is the third time the agent has swallowed reviewer state into a task commit. Stage only files in your "What I changed".

+Standing by for T4.5.
